I was under the impression that the 2.4 kernel enabled file sizes of a terrabyte or two, but 'ulimit -Ha' indicates only 'file size (blocks, -f) 2000000' and with a block size of 4096 (from tune2fs) this is only 8GB, assuming my logic is correct to this point.

My "ulimit -Ha" and "ulimit -a" both show unlimited for file size. Which is great -- I only have a 30Gb disk and I can have unlimited size files. Sorry. Monday morning insanity.



Can anyone explain why my hard file size limit is only 2M blocks? Can this be increased?

I would guess that the different between what you have an a default install is probably something in /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/* which is forcing the limit down.
